İnsan Vücudunun Öyküsü

If alien evolutionary biologists came to study life on Earth, the species that would interest them most would probably be humans. Daniel E. Lieberman, a professor at Harvard University, studies human evolution just like an alien biologist. Telling this story that started seven million years ago in East Africa, Professor Lieberman traces the changes in the human body until today.

This process reveals the change, in other words evolution, that started with the descent of human ancestors from the trees and the evolution of bipedalism, followed by the emergence of hunter-gatherers and people starting to live in groups, and then the agricultural and industrial revolutions. Nowadays, we see maladaptive diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes that our bodies are exposed to as they adapted to be hunter-gatherers in East Africa and have difficulty adapting to modern lifestyles.

Daniel E. Lieberman explains in a very clear and easy-to-understand language how an evolutionary perspective will help us understand why these diseases occur and, more importantly, prevent them. In this book, you will witness the magnificent journey of the human body from past to present, and you will also find tips for living a healthy life today.
